I created a new table:

create table ind_types_lu (
   ind_nbr serial primary key,
   ind_name varchar(32) not null
);

Now the database has the new table and a new sequence:

  public | ind_types_lu             | table    | rshepard
  public | ind_types_lu_ind_nbr_seq | sequence | rshepard

I want to replace the old lookup table (with no FK) with this one. Can I
use:

alter table rename ind_types_lu to industrytypes;

and have the sequence name changed, too?

TIA,

Rich
